Amazing game! Can't flaw it! Gets 5 stars across the board from me~~! Excellent 2 day entry. Fantastic take on the 'HP is power' theme, especially the idea of actually reducing HP. 

Amazing level design too - I can't even begin to understand how you worked out the paths and obstacles based on all the possible moves, with different HP levels, that a player could take. :D

Would love to see this expanded on!!

I didn't have time to run any playtests so I wasn't sure if I needed to adjust the difficulty. I've put a video on the itch page to help if you get stuck on a level or want to see the rest of the game. Thanks for playing! 😊

Oh man this is really good. Great mechanics of damage = less movement space which you need in certain areas is very smart.
